Pros

Everyone from the top down genuinely wants to do what is in the best interest of the kids, families and employees. They are always open to our feedback. I have never worked for a company that has made me feel like my opinion and the opinion of those who are employed are so valued.

Loved what I did

Business Outlook

Pros

The children are amazing, and helping them learn and grow is so special. The coworkers are wonderful, we are truly a team. Fun environment; everyday brings something new. Never bored. One of the few child care settings I've been in that actually is a good, safe, creative, fun place for children.

Cons

Leadership (area managers and above) seem like all they care about is money. The children's education and safety should be priority, but when hours get cut or the classroom budget is reduced or taken away, it seems like they don't care about those priorities.
